This Saturday we will be running all sessions on the River at Horbury Junction.

We also have new kit for use on the river – we have invested in several stand up paddle boards and these will also be available for the sessions this Saturday. We only have a limited number of boards and so if we have a lot of paddlers wanting to try the boards we will have to limit the time per paddler.

We would like to thank all members for your support over the last 12 months. Despite the challenges of COVID-19, the club has seen a period of growth and expansion and managed to plan regular paddling sessions, seeing new members join and be enthused by the sport with existing members improving their skills.

Membership for paddlers who joined the club prior to August 2020 will now be able to renew their membership. A valid membership is required to join us on any paddling sessions, for insurance and safety purposes. Paddlers who’s membership has lapsed will be asked to renew before joining a paddle.

In August of 2020, the club extended membership renewals by 6 months free of charge, due to the ongoing restrictions preventing us running sessions. To bring our membership year back into sync with the club rules (membership is October to October) and as a result of ongoing issues with our online payments, we are offering a free membership renewal for the next 6 months. You will be able to renew as normal, but there will be no charge at the end. 

Although the start of 2022 will still have its challenges, we are keen to deliver regular sessions and look at returning to pool sessions at Dewsbury Swimming pool as soon as safely possible.

We’d love for you renew your membership and to be part of the journey in 2022. Sincere thanks to all those members who have renewed over the last few weeks.

You can sign into our membership portal and update your details (including any linked members) and add any family members to your family membership, if required. You will not require a password.

This week we are running a river session on the River Wharfe. Suitable to paddlers who have done some moving and white-water work with us.We will monitor the river levels very closely, however at the minimum required levels the trip will not be suitable to beginners to moving water. At higher levels, the club will make a decision on individual competency. Due to the  ongoing Omicron variant progressing throughout the country, we want to keep car shuttles to a minimum and as such we will only have limited numbers on this session. Conditions will be expectedly very cold, both on and off the water, so it is imperative you are dressed appropriately for the environment. A proper wetsuit and CAG Jacket or dry suit with underlayers will be required. This is not a coach led paddle but lead by suitably competent paddlers with knowledge and experience to take people on this grade of water. For full details and to register to the session, please go to the calendar page! https://www.westyorkshirecanoeclub.com/calendar/
